Hoods: Theatre District

Chicago has a vibrant Live Theatre community. Many of Broadways biggest success in recent years premiered here in Chicago First. The Producers, Spam-A-Lot, MamaMia, all played here before moving to New York.

Chicago's Theater District runs along Randolph between State and Franklin. Current productions include Wicked and The Color Purple.

In addition to the big productions there are many small theater troupes throughout the city as well.
